Appius Annius Atilius Bradua

Annius Bradua was born and raised in an aristocratic family of consular rank and was a member of the gens Annia. He was a member of the venerable family of the Annii Regilli.[3] Regilli means 'Little Queen'.[3]

In the year 160, Annius Bradua served as an ordinary consul.[2] In the year of Annius Bradua’s consulship, his sister who was eight months pregnant with her sixth child was kicked to death in the abdomen by a freedman of Herodes Atticus named Alcimedon. Annius Bradua brought charges in Rome against his brother-in-law, alleging that Herodes Atticus had been responsible for her death; Herodes Atticus was exonerated of the charge by Marcus Aurelius, the heir of Antoninus Pius and student of the defendant.
